Achievement showcase: don't consider demo in achievements count and completion
After some research and calculations, it seems that demo games are considered in achievements count and in completion percentage when displaying the achievement showcase.
Sadly, a lot of demo have the same achievement as the full game, even if many of them are not unlockable
For exemple, as I played the demo of torchlight first, I have 3 achievements out of 66. After buying the full game, both the demo achievements and the full game achievements counts, and it count for 2 games in the statistics.
As the completion percentage is based on the mean of the completion of each considered game (having at least one achievement), each demo played with at least one achievement earned will reduce the overall completion percentage

Well, as in general a few demo considered is pretty small compared to all full games played, we're talk here of around 1%, certainly less, it's not a big deal. But as it seems to be a small change in computation, i guess it's a good idea

Valid and agreed.
I'd also add that free weekend games counts towards the achievement percentage, even if you decide to not purchase them afterwards (one of my rarest achievements is a proof on this).
I'd only be concerned about how much work it'd be, though.
